Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course gives an introduction in basic concepts and techniques of recent remote sensing and photogrammetric geodata acquisition using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), focusing on geomorphological research quesions and applications.
Using various examples of small-format aerial photographs (SFAP) from different regions, the students will in a combination of practical training and literature review
- get to know the geometric properties and the significance of the content of SFAP
- plan and perform a UAV survey (1 day field trip in Konradsheim or Oberhöflein / Lower Austria in Nov/Dec)
- perform stereoscopic review and interpretation of images pairs
- process image blocks for the extraction of 3D-point clouds and further do DEM and Orthomosaic-processing
- Analyze the gained data in an GIS environment

The following programs will be used: IrfanView, StereoPhoto Maker, Pix4D (Structure from Motion), ESRI ArcGIS.

For the Lecture Block on October 24./25. bringing a personal notebook is required.
